Overstrand Municipality reminds residents to ensure they use the correct bank reference when paying their municipal accounts.

Payments made with the incorrect reference via EFT may not be properly allocated. This could result in penalties and administration fees being charged.

Penalties and admin fees will not be reversed if the wrong reference was used, so it is important to check payment details carefully to avoid extra costs.
